in this concept i want to show you how to sign up and get the referral bonus from crypto.com successfully as simple as it might seem i failed to get the 25 bonus and my friend who referred me also failed to do so and that's because somehow their system failed to track the referral between us and i don't want that to happen to you and so i'm going to tell you the safer way of making sure that you can get that bonus by using the copy and paste approach so in this webpage let me enlarge for you there are four steps and they are easy first step you download the app go to app store search for crypto.com and you'll find it the second step is crucial during signup you have to enter my referral code which is this you have to copy this code you have to either control c or if you're on a mobile phone select and hold and then copy it as stated in their knowledge based there's this button invited at referral code tap on it and then paste the referral code there so continue sign up and step three it is part of your signup you have to do your kyc verification this is necessary because financial apps require all the strict identity verification so bear with it and then go through it but once you pass the verification you will see the 25 usd but it will be locked how to unlock that you have to go to step four the final step which is to stake for visa card or more precisely the metal visa card which is actually quite nice so there are different card tiers so you have to get ruby steel and above which means taking 400 usd and more just don't get a midnight blue which doesn't require any staking but this will not give you the bonus so don't apply this so let me show you the process of signing up for this card so in their knowledge base they have all the screenshots let me just go through with you so that i get a few it's actually very easy no in the app there's this card tab tap on it and just follow to follow the steps to to select your card and then and then sign up in this stage they will ask you to purchase and hold cro for six months this is the 180 days staking so one of the thing that i want to point out in their screenshots is that you see that you can unlock 50 usd one year ago actually their sign up bonus is 50 usd but now it's half and we only get 25 but it's better than nothing so when you purchase they'll use the current rate of cro to usd in fact one year ago the price of cro is much much lesser so if the same things happens if cro value continues to grow if you stake it today six months later cro might be higher price and if you then sell that cro you actually make a profit of course it comes with a risk it can go up it can also go down but i will say that you should continue sticking it six months and after it ends you can restrict it and that's necessary because when you're sticking for the card you do get additional benefit and i highly recommend that you do so and in the next concept i'll talk about how to invest with crypto.com by sticking other tokens so lastly let me share with you the issue i had with getting my referral bonus i was using the option a which is to use a referral link so my friend sent me the link i opened it up but because i was using brief browser and it has ad locker and i believe that caused the referral code to be dropped it wasn't prefilled in and i didn't know that so this is the current track the code i actually raise it up with their cs their customer support is actually pretty good that in the app you can message them and they'll reply you maybe maybe around a day so they helped to check for my case and their reply was simply that their system didn't capture the code so the app is fantastic everything about them is good accept this screw up with the referral bonus but i think um an exceptional case i don't think this will happen to you is you if you use the option b which is to copy and paste the referral code that should be fine so do still sign up for it and i highly recommend it as i said in the next concepts i will tell you more about investments on other tokens staking it and getting some yield of ten percent so till then bye bye
